Do You Ever Wonder?
I mean just wonder about things?

Or do you just take things at face value and go on?

:shrug:

Smoke and Mirrors vs. All Is As It Seems

what say you?

1. Oh, I definitely wonder too much.
I really am such a cynic that it alarms me. But, in a striking paradox, I can be all too gullible as well, so much so that it alarms me.

*sigh* :rofl:

3. why do i hear Daniel Stern's voice in my head all of a sudden?
is that meaningful pause, wistful camera work and poignant melodramatic music playing me to commercial?

5. I don't get too caught up in wondering about ulterior motives now days
I'm an honest kind of guy and I expect the same from other people. Sometimes I'm wrong about people, but I find that if I am honest I don't usually have to worry about things.

Luke and Han got one, why not Chewy? I still think about that. :shrug:

16. okay...
say we're talking about

oh

the strange way that gas prices escalate around holidays when people drive a lot... is that just supply and demand, or is there a conspiracy to raise gas prices and make a bundle off travelers?

:shrug:

21. A conspiracy would imply illegal price fixing.
While that is not outside the realm of possibility, I am more inclined to think that the added demand allows individual vendors to make money when they know they can.

22. I wonder
when the supply appears to be more than adequate... and what is price fixing other than your local consortium (informal even) set the prices.

I know that in a town I lived in, there was such a group, and they set the prices, and if someone undersold them, they as a group could undersell that station and take business away so they all had an uneasy truce to follow suit with the prices.

13. I am -always- seeking the truth. Absolute truth, beyond human perception and opinion.
There are many who hate that about me, and wish for me to stop.

30. I'm too ornery to hunt and gather...
There's a haunting folk song called "I Wonder as I Wander" which was based on Appalachian tunes.
The lyrics are:

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus, the Savior, did come for to die.
For poor, ornery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky.

2. When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cows' stall,
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall,
And the promise of ages
It did then recall.

3. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing:
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing;
Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing,
He surely could have had it,
'Cause He was the King!

26. I do wonder sometimes about....
the "Small Wonder" Vickie...
Ya know with genetic engineering and all...she should be everywhere by now, stopping by your home,
at the gym, at the laundromat.

I guess these things just take time...

29. I take just about everything with a grain of salt.
No wonder my blood pressure is so high...

I keed, I keed.

Seriously though, I try to think through just about everything. Which is probably why I take so damn long to decide on things.

31. My dear Southpawkicker...
I wonder about things all the time...

The meaning of life, and love...

My place in the universe...

What happens when my body dies...

Why some things make me happy...

While other things make me sad...

Good post, sweetie...:hug:
